What if Waltham doubled in size?

City planners think the city could easily double its population and add millions of more square feet of commercial space, but Borderline begs to differ:

...[N]o ordinary resident of Waltham I know has ever said, "Hey, you know what Waltham really needs? More townhouses!"

Message to elected officials: We don't need no more stinkin' development in Waltham. There are already too many condos, office parks, and strip malls here. We should be looking at Lincoln as a model for development, not Framingham. ...

Ed. note: Poor, poor Framingham. Everybody always picks on it - and everybody always thinks Rte. 9 is all there is to the town. Back when I covered Acton, people there always worried about the "Framinghamization" of Acton (although next door in Boxborough, they worried about the "Actonization" of Boxborough - one wonders how far west that chain of worry continued).
